Digital wedding invitation price: the real numbers

You're at the kitchen table with a quote from the print shop in one hand and a list of ninety names in the other. The quote covers the invitations. Envelopes, stamps and the extra card for the map and the dress code come on top. That's when the digital wedding invitation price stops being an abstract idea and turns into a sum you can compare line by line.

So here it is without padding. A Send The Joy invitation costs €29.99, paid once. What follows is what that covers, what paper keeps adding after the envelope, and where a printed copy still earns its place.

Digital wedding invitation price: what €29.99 covers

You pay €29.99 once for one invitation. No monthly plan, no charge that reappears as the date gets closer. What you buy is a web page for your event, not a PDF and not an image. It opens from a link, a QR code or a message, in any browser, on a phone, a tablet or a laptop.

• One payment per invitation — no subscription and no second invoice in the final weeks.
• A live page for the event, shared by link, QR code or message. Nothing to download.
• A free trial: you edit the cover without paying, and buying unlocks every scene, from Umbral de cal to Último baile.
• Guests install nothing. They open the link in their browser and reply from the phone.

The paper column: what gets added after the envelope

Printed invitations are priced per unit, so you pay ninety times instead of once. Each one needs an envelope and a stamp, and often a separate card for directions or the dress code. Before you commit, ask the print shop what a reprint costs. If the ceremony moves an hour, the printed invitations are waste and you pay for new ones.

Then there's the afternoon itself: addressing, stuffing, stamping and a trip to the post box. That time doesn't show up on the invoice, but it's part of the cost. And every reply that arrives as a text message is one more line you have to keep track of on a note.

The paper column doesn't stop at the invitation. Envelopes, stamps and reprints keep adding to the same bill.

Change the time and the link stays the same

After you send it, you can still edit it. Move dinner an hour later, correct the address, replace a line of text. The link doesn't change, so nobody has to forward anything, and guests open the current version. You can add up to six of your own photos, choose which one is the cover and swap any of them later; they frame themselves. Music is there if you want it, and the wording can be set in Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian, Portuguese or German, each language separately.

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation, in one ordered list, so you're not rebuilding the guest count from forty messages. You decide which questions the RSVP form asks, and guests answer from their phone without creating an account or downloading an app.

When paper still wins

If you want something your grandmother can hold, combine the two: a link for everyone and a handful of printed copies for the people who will keep them. A digital invitation needs a phone, a tablet or a computer with a connection, and that printed copy covers whoever doesn't have one. For the rest of the list, one link does the job. Do the maths with your own names: invitations, envelopes, stamps, the extra card, the reprint, the afternoon. Then pick a design, edit the cover for free, and publish today.
